Boris will speak at 7pm on Sunday, schedule changes for sure to come.


Will be interesting to see whether BBC One follows with a News Special.

I don’t see them dropping Antiques Roadshow as it’s a VE Day special.

They’ll push it back and drop Primates.

Although it’s a funny one, as they probably wouldn’t be able to drag out a news special until 8:15

" After today’s euphoric front pages" Shocked

The media attempting a self fulfilling prophecy more like, he'll be mad if there's any significant reduction in measures from Monday.

Hopefully it'll be a roadmap of deliverables (from us) (Excuse the attempt at W**k Word Bingo)

And anyway, there'll be actually little very new to hear by Sunday evening.
It'll all have leaked out by then.

Either from 'unnamed Whitehall sources' (i.e cabinet ministers) or by people who have received the briefing guidance notes in the wider UK world, and then forwarded a copy to 'bcc'.

A bit like HM's address a few weeks ago. I didn't bother watching it, because more or less everything she said of substance had already been reported (over and over and over and over and over and over and over again)

or indeed by the Scottish First Minister who will announce something, and then the media will question a UK minister on whether they see any action being UK-wide hence indirectly announcing it for everyone.

Yes, for 45 minutes. Antiques Roadshow at 7.45, a repeat of the Captain Tom doc at 8.45, Primates next week.

If it turns out the message in England is different to that in Scotland and Wales I would hope the PM's message doesn't play in the nations.

Does that tweet from Huw somewhat insist that he might be presenting it?

The reality of the different approaches taken by the governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will I think drastically change the message that he originally planned on issuing. You can already see the significant back pedalling from Downing Street today after the announcements throughout the rest of the UK. This is an example of devolution at it's best and being used constructively to place checks on the power of London.
